My therapist was never on time to our scheduled sessions. It's impossible for me to I have productive therapy and reliable work schedule without my therapist being there. Even with the pandemic, messages can still be sent saying the cause of lateness or that he'll get in touch with BetterHelp and save me some money since I have to pay weekly and he's only available once a week. But not once did he do that. I suggest that you remove him from your platform as this experience has completely turned me away from using a service such as this. I'll be moving to in person within location. At least if they aren't there, have the respect to show up or tell me in advance they won't be making it. This experience has caused more stress than relieved for a first time patient in therapy.

Alex helped me understand myself better and gave me the tools I need to practice self compassion and silencing the inner critic.
